🖼 "Underpass III" by Tracy Thomson, as part of our current exhibition, All The Living Things!

"This body of work reflects not only the natural elements but human as well. Considering the obvious…You can’t have one without the other !!

We are—all of us, predator and prey alike. Intertwined in a constant dance of celebration, survival, curiosity, love, envy, hate, danger, destruction and unpredictable consequence." - Tracy Thomson

🖼 "Field Map" by Loree Ovens, as part of our latest exhibition, Wandering Glimmers!

"Wandering Glimmers is a collection of fleeting moments of peace or joy found through daily living. Coined by clinical social worker Deb Dana, “glimmers” are micro-moments of everyday experiences that give the feeling of connection, calm and happiness. Glimmers are everywhere, and everyone experiences them differently.

They are quiet, serendipitous and often unpredictable. These moments can drift in and out of your day naturally. It could be as simple as holding a warm cup of tea, watching sunlight reflected on a window or witnessing a random act of kindness. Glimmers help ground you by shifting your perspective and bringing you to the present. This quiet mindfulness practice speaks of resilience and of not losing your sense of wonder and curiosity in difficult times.

Finding light when you least expect it." - Loree Ovens

Exhibiting now until October 18.

🗓 Join us on Sunday, October 18 at 2pm for Loree's ARTIST TALK!

✨ Meet Doris Purchase, one of Propeller Art Gallery’s talented artist members!

Doris Purchase is a Toronto-based mixed media artist who has degrees from Ontario College of Art and the University of Guelph. Doris’s work is predominantly conceptual and draws on the materiality behind a painting. Through her practice, she focuses on artists’ materials to invoke conversations about western ideals and question our value system. Part sculpture, part painting, these pieces are inversions. They are about unearthing what’s obscured to bring the raw materials of a painting to the fore.

Learn more about Doris by visiting her Member Profile on our Website!
